Gnock is a family-friendly card game for players ages 6 and up. The game teaches simple addition and subtraction in the fantastical setting of Gnomerheim, the great city of gnomes. The game is divided into multiple rounds, with a total score tally kept by collecting Gnomish gems between rounds. Become the next Merchant Lord of Gnomerheim by becoming the first to win 5 Gnome tokens in this fast-moving, round-taking game great for adults and kids alike. A player Gnocks under the table or on the floor to announce they have a low point total of 9 points or below in their hand to win the round. After the player has Gnocked, the play goes around the table one more time. When the round returns to the Gnocking player, the play stops and cards are added together. The other way to win is by a player announcing a military coup to signify they have 50 points in their hand through a combination of 5 Military cards to stop the round immediately and win the round. But beware! You may activate an instant action when certain cards are played! Will the rules change? Will you have to give your best Gnome dance? Will you have the swap cards with other players? Will a Troll attack?! —description from the publisher
